"Entering the heart means remaining without distractions. The heart is the only reality. The mind is only a transient phase. To remain as oneself is to enter the heart. Self-surrender is the same as self-knowledge, and either of them implies self-control. Surender can take effect only when it is done with full knowledge as to what real surrender means. Such knowledge comes after enquiry and reflection, and ends invariably in Self-surrender. Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imaging such a source to be some God outside of you. One's source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means you should seek the source and merge in it."

    I haven't done the kind of reading you have in this area, but have you ever read "Eat. Love. Pray." by Elizabeth Gilbert? Great book. What you said here made me think of it.
